Sorry, I still want to start up my RP...I just didn't realize I had gotten approval (I was fighting with my computer around the time I first posted). So, is it still okay (I changed the name and added a little)?

Nice, typical Med/Fan, Anade, sounds good. Just be prepared to deal with a lot of players- you'll need to keep a close eye on it. You're still new to Psypoke, so make sure you're willing to stick with it before beginning.

And now, a rather lengthy application of my own:

Roleplay Name: The Merlin Academy
Roleplay Genre: Modern fantasy

Setting: A Hogwartsesque school for mages in modern day Britain.

Plot:The Merlin academy in Great Britain is well known throughout the country and the world. It's a very exclusive British public boarding school; so exclusive that you have to be invited to come, instead of applying like a normal public school. Rumor has it tuition is remarkably low, or even nonexistent, because dozens of multimillionaire alumni are always making extravagant donations.

Students are chosen for the Merlin academy from all walks of life. Apparently the academy's scouts in the state school system have a knack for spotting greatness, even when the student in question is doing poorly in classes. Parents have been know to try all sorts of things to get their kids into the academy, but no one knows what the selection process is really based on.

For their first week of classes at the Merlin academy, new students have no idea what the fuss is about. Certainly, the professors are top-notch, and the facilities are marvelous, but the school isn't much different from your ordinary expensive public school. During this week, a few students are usually sent home- either due to "poor grades" or "behavior problems".

At the end of the first week, the remaining first year students are all gathered in the assembly hall for an initiation ceremony. It's school tradition, they're told, but little do they know it will change their lives forever.

Each student is given a candle, and they are told to light it. Of course, there's always the usual smart aleck who asks for matches, but they're quickly hushed with a demonstration from one of the professors, who lights a candle with only a moment's concentration.

One by one, the students pull off the same feat, lighting their candles by force of will alone. Over the next few days, the real wonders of the school are explained to them: it's a school for mages, people capable of manipulating matter, time and probability to create magic-like effects.

If you understand something completely, they are told, right down to the subatomic level, then you can control it completely. Mages have the innate ability to completely understand and manipulate matter, without having to consciously examine every part of it. Powerful mages can extend this control of space into space-time, traveling millions of light-years in an instant, or less.

But students at the Merlin academy, much to their dismay, don't get cool classes like "transfiguration" or "defence against the dark arts", although fifth year calculus does border on arithmancy. Magecraft, not to be confused with magic, is hard work, and it's tied in with the science curriculum so tightly it's near impossible to distinguish the two. Other classes also use and teach magecraft aspects, such as matter calculations in maths class and spell writing in English.

And aside from hard work, magecraft can also be dangerous. The universe is an innately chaotic place, and mages attract said chaos. Points of extreme disturbance of time, space and probability, called "paradoxes", are prone to appearing in mage-heavy areas, especially in the school auditorium. The professors and staff are all highly skilled mages, trained to deal with such anomalies, but it sometimes falls to the student body to control paradoxes until the professors arrive.

There's also a second issue, and one that's only recently become a problem. New students capable of magic are put through rigorous psychological testing to insure that graduates won't turn "evil" and use their magic to cause harm. Those that fail said tests are sent back home during the first week, without being told who and what they are, but unbeknownst to the Council of Mages, a group of these rejected students have discovered their powers on their own, and have created a small "school" of their own, taking in dejected and often mentally unstable young mages and training them to help serve their own purposes. In the world of humans, a little bit of magic goes a long way, and this group has begun to earn its self some serious political and economic power. Unlike the Council, however, they can be somewhat less than subtle in their techniques.

With the centuries old secret of Magecraft threatening to go public, a new generation of mages has to deal with secret societies, memory spells, paradoxes and bad press, along with the usual rigors of highschool.

Additional Rules:- All roleplaying forum suggested rules will be enforced as official thread rules
- Please PM me a bit about your character before joining, and wait for my approval
- This is what I would consider an "advanced" roleplay- spelling and grammar will be enforced to the letter, people are expected to pay careful attention to the setting and posts should be at least a paragraph long. If you'd like to play, but you don't think you can meet those standards, please PM me about it and I'll try and help you out

I know there are alot of medival fantasy rps being started, but I kind of want to start my own. It's based on the Fire Emblem games, what with magic, dragons, swords, etc. There's all sorts of classes (and if you've played either of the 2 Fire Emblem games released in the U.S., you'd know them right off the bat.) Everyone starts out as a basic class, such as a mercenary, mage, archer, etc., and then once they have experinced enough in the RP, they can change classes (a.k.a. class upgrade). The catch is that not only do you have to have experieced alot in that class, you need an item that allows you to change classes. I'll give an example here.

Let's say you're a Thief. Let's also say that you've been on alot of adventures, fought tons of creatures, etc etc etc. And then you find an Ocean Seal emblem, which allows you to change classes. Here's the choices for you.

~Assassin
Thief-----------------l
~Rogue

Now, let's move on. The magic types that can be used are Anima, Light, and Dark. There are also classes that can use Healing Staves. The magic types each have a strentgh and a weakness.

[quote="Sneaky_Sneasel"][color=red]Want to start your very own roleplaying thread? You've come to the right place. Before you create your game, though, you need to have it okayed by a moderator here.

[size=18][b]What We're Looking For:[/b][/size]
- A unique idea that isn't too similar to other recently started roleplays
- A roleplay creator (that's you) who looks like s/he can handle running a game, and who's willing to put in the effort. I have a lot of time on my hands and I am VERY responsible. I am very creative and patient.
- setting and Plot: A Lush Vally. New Friends Combine Streangths to Overcome a terrible danger( Non PG13).
If you think you and your roleplay meet those criteria, please fill out this form and post it here:

You Can Be a legendary, You may NOT however choose one that has allready been used by a player.

You Can Play a pokemon OR a trainer

GOLDEN RULE! have FUN

Once I or Gryphflame has okayed your game, you may create a thread for it.[/color][/quote]

I'm a little suspicious about letting you start a roleplay immediately, SCG. You don't seem to have taken too much time with your application, since there seem to be formatting mistakes in it, and you originally created a game without reading the stickies. The idea sounds nice, but please spend a little longer getting to know Psypoke and its roleplaying environment before creating your own game.

Yes, I know alot of people have been appling. But I just got this idea, and I didnt want to lose it.

Roleplay Name:Golden Age of Pokemon

Roleplay Genre:Pokemon

Setting:Mediveil Kanto, Jhoto, Hoenn

Plot:This is a roleplay of life in mediveil pokemon world. Things like Knights, Samurai, Ninja etc. But instead of war, they have pokemon battles. This is mostly an open RP though. I may add side quests

Additional Rules:No Legendaries can be used at the moment.
No fighting each other with bloody and gory seens. This has to stay PG.
No Godmoding.
No starting to rp without my approval.
Starting late is fine, but make sure you follow the current plot.
No starting with fully evolved lvl 100 pokemon. The highest you can start from is lvl 20.
Please be creative, dont be a Knight and have a pokemon a Ninja would have like a Voltorb.

I might well have asked the same from an older member- I'd just like him or her to take a week or so to make sure she can handle running a game of his or her own.

And that sounds pretty nifty, Sanctum101, and should attract a fair number of people. Make sure you have the time to keep up with it, of course, but feel free to create it

whoa nelly! i guess i should read the first post before i posted, eh? well, here's my application...

Roleplay Name: War of the Elements

Roleplay Genre: Fire Emblem Series

Setting: The continent of Magvel.

Plot: Magvel is a large continent containing 6 kingdoms. All of the kingdoms have been living together in peace until one day a magical stone had been found by the Grado kingdom. It was an elemental stone, one of six. It had granted amazing powers, which Grado began to use to gain power. The other kingdoms are in a tiffy over this. Is Grado becoming too powerful?

Rules: You can create a character that can hail from any of the 6 kingdoms. Your choose from 14 beginning classes for your character, and you can upgrade your class eventually. You must be fair, and not be an almighty fighter that always emerges unscathed. Also, all other basic RP rules apply, such as no godmodding. Give people a chance to react, and don't get ahead of yourself.

I think that covers it all... if this gets the "official sneaky_sneasel/gryphflame seal of approval", I'll have even more details on stuff such as classes.

Sounds good, Registeel, and that's a fandom we don't yet have represented. Make sure you have enough time to keep up with it, but you have a go-ahead.

Plot: Owned by Mixer (Psypoke ID: Soundboard), the Gateway Tavern is a place where everybody is welcome despite what they are, where or when they're from, or what they do for a living. Many different things occur, and the storyline goes out beyond the tavern sometimes.

Additional Rules:

Respect each other's characters.
No killing (Mixer gets mad at murderers, and is a cop.)
Keep out of character talk to a minimum, and always bracket it.

PS: No profile/character application required. All are welcome to just start posting. This isn't a Pokemon RP, though they are allowed.

_________________Last night I dreamt that I ate a ten pound marshmallow. When I woke up this morning... my pillow was gone.

Soundboard seems to have at least paid attention to the criteria for an RP, Blaze. True he's (or she's...sorry, Soundboard, I wasn't sure) fairly new, but I was pretty new when I started my RP. One of the main reasons ShinyCharizardGal wasn't allowed to create hers was because she just copy-and-pasted and left too many things undone on her application. So, I think Soundboard's RP has a chance.

_________________All bow to the Team Psyche Admins!...A smile would work, too.

Sorry. *Chuckled, rubbing the back of her head sheepishly.* Guess I didn't read your rules.

But, here is what you ask for...

Roleplay Name:A General RPRoleplay Genre:General Pokemon

Setting:No specific location. Setting is made through all of the players as the RP progresses.

Plot:The idea is to hopefully have many different battles going on between the trainers.

Additional Rules:Additional Rules are stated on the RP, but I will post them here, too... somewhat long. I don't know if this is what you want or not, but - here ya go;

First, a profile of some extent is needed. Everyone likes to go more indepth then others, so feel free to do so - though the 'back bone' of this profile is to give what pokemon you have, and what attacks they have - also what level they are on. In this RP, it is possible for the pokemon you have to evolve. But for this to happen, we must know their level, in order to make it fair to say - you did enough RPing and it looked as if the Pokemon would have enough experience to move up levels in order for it to evolve - if that makes any sense what-so-ever. Ah - but here is the catch! Levels are not used to determine if someone is stronger than the other. That is what makes this RP a good one, in my opinion. This is so people cannot power game (and so I do not have to set a limit on levels.) It also - in my opinion once more - makes it more fun so people have to think more, and use the resources around them to win, ect.

When creating Pokemon, there are not too many rules to follow. Rule #1: Only up to six. Rule #2: Only one "Legendary" Pokemon can be used. (This is to make it fair - to make sure people do not powergame.) Rule #3: Only four attacks for each Pokemon. Rule #4: Attacks do not have to match levels. This is just to make it more interesting. Rule #5: A pokemon must know surf in order to ferry you across water. A pokemon must know strength in order to move boulders. Ect, ect. Even if the pokemon could 'normally' do it, they must need that move. This also goes for Abilities. (The ability must also be one the pokemon can have. You can't mix and match abilities to suit your needs.) --- See? Not too many, right?

Stats are not used in this RP! No stats such as; Attack, Defense, ect. The only 'stats' used are Abilities and Attacks.

Also, you must fill out a basic profile, found on the first post of the RP, found here;

"New " shouldn't be the case for either members. They filled out the application, if the application is there and filled out, there shouldn't be any problem. It's kind of prejudice to not let new memebrs make an RP, or could it be better explained as stereotyping?

Plot: We play as [not-so-strong] Pokemon that were left in the day care and strengthen each other by battling and things like that. Hopefully that's not it, but I don't know what else will happen because it hasn't started. This was originally trainers that worked there, but I realized there wouldn't be much interaction that way.

Additional Rules:- no godmoding, power playing, ect.
- no being a legendary or another strong pokemon that wouldn't be in the day care
- you can be a shiny if you want to - whatever floats your boat
- use the ooc, ic, or ((insert words here)) labels for out of character talking
- I think that's it, besides no being a secret Team Evil member that can turn into a Tropious and take over the day care, then making everyone mindless robots and taking over the world... Uh, right...

Soundboard, if you had looked at the application for the RP that Shinycharizardgal had posted and see why it had not been approved, then you will know why your Rp will not be approved.

~~PEACE OUT~~ (Blatant rip-off of Sneaky_Sneasal)

You said that she was not approved because her application had no time spent into it, and it was full of formatting errors. Mine is not full of formatting errors, and I have previously run this same RP on chat networks that have been shut down. Before the networks were shut down, I had run "The Gateway Tavern" for 8 years. I've been trying to find a new place to base it, but I haven't been successful yet.

It's Sneaky_Sneasel and Gryphflame who have to okay your RP, not Blaze.

Hey, Mods you never answered Soundboard!!! He has an RP waiting to be okayed.
